I am fairly certain the issue here is the number being exported
is not something that can be represented as a machine number on
your system. On my system:
In[3]:= {$MinMachineNumber, $MaxMachineNumber}
Out[3]= {2.2250738585072014*^-308, 1.7976931348623157*^308}
anything outside of this range cannot be represented by a
machine number. Consequently, Mathematica has no simple and
obvious way to do what you appear to want.
